On The Block

Mountain escape on the market for $9.9M

Looking for a mountain retreat complete with 12 bathrooms, a 10-car garage and a labyrinth? For just under $10 million you can have that at Harmony Mountain – a 100 acre private retreat in Pennsylvania.

 The estate sits on the highest point in Waverly, PA and is a 40-minute helicopter ride away from new York, according to Sotheby’s International Realty. The $9,995,000 home is 16,000 square feet and has five bedrooms. Inside you will find $2 million worth of art, furniture and statues, an infrared sauna and bullet-proof windows. There’s also a meditation spot complete with a Buddha.

“The homeowner had a specific vision for this residence, a place where materials and cultural elements from around the world flow together to create one harmonious environment. Approach the house from the dramatically lit winding driveway and you know that you are embarking on a journey. The serenity of its location stays with you throughout your experience. The Italian-influenced architectural lines of the home draw from the owner’s cultural background mixed with Eastern architecture.” – Sotheby’s International Realty

Other extravagant features include: An outdoor amphitheater, dual-hydrotherapy massage tub, marble-tiled steam room, Italian Scavo glass lighting, Tibetan rugs, Ebony grand piano, aluminum and stainless rain gutter.

Damien's note: Because if you live like this, you really need a meditation spot where you can reflect on how all things are passing away ... and apparently you need bullet-proof windows.
